RADICAL PRO-ABORTION SENATOR SET TO RETIRE

OTTAWA, December 17, 2001 (LSN.ca) - Liberal Senator Sheila Finestone, a radical pro-abortion and pro-homosexual activist politician is retiring from the Senate Jan 28, as she reaches age 75. Finestone, appointed to the Senate by Prime Minister Jean Chretien in 1999, referred to the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, which ushered abortion into Canada, as the reason for her entrance into politics in her farewell Friday. Recalling a conversation with former Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau she said, "I told him it was all his doing, it was his fault, because he has brought in multicultural rights and women's rights under the umbrella of human rights through the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms," she said.

Finestone's radical pro-abortion stance was highlighted in September 1995 when she led the Canadian delegation to the United Nations' Conference on Women in Beijing. The Canadian delegation led the way in advocating "sexual orientation" (homosexuality) and "reproductive rights" (abortion). The Canadians were deemed perhaps the most radical and aggressive of all those present at the conference; they opposed references to anything which might limit such "rights" - including the laws, beliefs, and even the very sovereignty of individual nations.
